The Alfred Eulogy

The dead don't need an explanation. The living do.

Overview

Following the death of his friend Alfred, Ryan prepares to deliver a eulogy. What begins as an attempt to remember the dead gradually becomes a deeply personal confrontation with grief, guilt, resentment, loneliness, and everything left unsaid between two people. As Ryan’s memories begin to fracture and contradict one another, the distinction between remembrance and reality slowly dissolves. The Alfred Eulogy is an intimate exploration of grief, masculinity, emotional repression, and the weight of words that were never spoken.
